I use nnmaildir as my primary backend:
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
'((nnmaildir "mail" (directory "/home/smcafee/.nnmaildir"))))
Within that directory, procmail divides my incoming mail into various
subdirectories. In Gnus's group view, the groups representing those
subdirectories all have a common, longish prefix "nnmaildir+mail:".
That's a little cluttered, and I'd prefer to be able to name them
eg. "mail.list-1", "mail.list-2", etc.
Is this possible? Extensive Googling and experimenting haven't turned
up any working solutions.

Hi Sean,
You need to modify gnus-group-line-format. My format line is
"%M%S%p%P%-12uy%(%-60ug%)\n"
I'm pretty sure that the "g" is what you want. That said %c looks
promising too ...
regards
r.

Yeah, it looks like %c does the job nicely, although it did take me a
little while to discover how to set a comment for an individual group:
"G c" in Summary mode. Thanks!
